    "Prefect, I think we should send someone back." A captain said.

    "That's right, Governor, Tongguan Pass is important and cannot be compromised." As soon as the captain's words came out, several people immediately agreed.

    "how?"

    Hearing this, Xu Rong's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy. He stared at the people in front of him and asked, "You actually believe Liu Zhe's nonsense?"

    The captain who spoke out earlier was stared at by Xu Rong, and his scalp was a little numb. Xu Rong was his superior after all, and he was not usually an easy person to talk to. But at this time, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Prefect, although  It¡¯s not necessarily true, but you can¡¯t go wrong with being careful.¡±

    "What about you?" Xu Rong ignored him and looked at the others.

    Although they did not dare to look at Xu Rong, their expressions told Xu Rong.

    Being contradicted by his subordinates like this, Xu Rong felt angry. If someone dared to contradict him like this in the past, he would definitely ask the guards to drag them down and chop them down immediately.

    But now that he has changed his boss, he can no longer do this. The people who contradict him are the people sent by his immediate boss Cao Cao, not the old people who followed Xu Rong before.

    After Xu Rong surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao had more trust in him. Although his position under Cao Cao was lower than when he was under Dong Zhuo, Xu Rong didn't care at all.

    Because Cao Cao did not treat him like a surrendered general, but also asked him to garrison Tongguan and serve as the prefect of such an important pass, which shows Cao Cao's trust in him.

    But trust is trust, but you can't let Xu Rong's subordinates all be the same people from the past, so Cao Cao sent many lower-level generals to serve under Xu Rong. Xu Rong also knew this. These people usually respect him very much and treat him very much.  There was no dissatisfaction with the leaders, so Xu Rong treated these subordinates equally.

    However, now they have united against Xu Rong, which made Xu Rong furious and felt that I usually treat you well in vain.

    However, although Xu Rong was angry in his heart, he could not kill them to establish his authority. After all, their reasons were valid. Once Xu Rong killed them, he would definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of his boss in the future, which would greatly affect his future.  Not good.

    Xu Rong naturally would not be in trouble with his future, so he suppressed his anger.

    Xu Rong suppressed his anger and said: "It is impossible for Liu Zhe to capture Tongguan. Instead, here, once Liu Zhe stands firm, the army from the other side will continue to come over. By then, it will be no different from the fall of Tongguan."

    These people have a transcendent status. If Xu Rong does not make it clear to them, if they oppose Xu Rong, it will really cause Xu Rong a lot of trouble.

    ¡°Prefect, it¡¯s always best for us to be careful.¡±

    Although they did not dare to go too far, they still used this sentence to answer Xu Rong.

    "Damn it, I already told you that the soldiers and horses led by Liu Zhe are here, and how could they escape our sight along the way." Xu Rong said with an angry face after hearing this. There is only one way for them to get here from Tongguan.  Walk.

    "Liu Zhe has no chance to send troops to attack"

    However, when Xu Rong said this, he suddenly shut up. While he was saying that Liu Zhe had no chance to sneak attack on him, he was actually thinking about whether he had missed anything wrong, but he actually let him miss something.  .

    No way, Xu Rong was frightened.

    Liu Zhe did not have no chance at all. He remembered that when Liu Zhe led his troops to attack his formation twice yesterday, he had to shrink the entire line to defend Liu Zhe. At that time, Xu Rong had a loophole.

    After thinking of this, Xu Rong could no longer remain calm and firm in his opinion.

    "You, you, you," Xu Rong called three people in succession. These three people were the ones who had just opposed Xu Rong and asked Xu Rong to send troops back to Tongguan. Xu Rong said: "Each of you will lead a thousand troops back to Tongguan immediately."

    At this time, Xu Rong could no longer care about slapping himself in the face.

    After the arrangements were made, Xu Rong asked again: "Where did Liu Zhe go?"

    "Going to the north."

    "North?" Xu Rong was shocked, that was the direction of the Yellow River ferry.

    "General, look!"

    Suddenly, a soldier pointed in the distance in horror.

    Xu Rong's eyes widened when he saw it. In the direction of Tongguan, a line of wolf smoke visible to the naked eye rose into the sky.

    In the distant horizon, the smoke curled up like a thin line. In Xu Rong's eyes, this thin line was like a black poisonous snake, staring at Xu Rong, making him shiver all over and his hands and feet were cold.

    Suddenly, the sound came from the camp in the distanceThere was a burst of cheers, which made Xu Rong sway and almost fall off his horse.

    The direction of the beacon is the direction of Tongguan. Tongguan does not have the habit of setting off beacon warning, and Xu Rong did not make an agreement with his men who stayed behind in Tongguan to release beacon if there is danger.

    Then, there is only one possibility, that is, the smoke was set off by Liu Zhe's people. This is the agreement between Liu Zhe and his men. The smoke is a signal, perhaps a signal to capture Tongguan, otherwise the people in the camp will not  cheered.

    "Damn it!"

    Xu Rong felt extremely regretful in his heart. He regretted that he had not seen Liu Zhe's trick. He regretted that he had always underestimated Liu Zhe. He always believed that Liu Zhe did not have enough troops and could only hold on to the main camp.

    But he never thought that Liu Zhe's defense of the camp was just a bait, and his real purpose was Tongguan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
